Hosea 13:15-16
Easy-to-Read Version
15 Israel grows among his brothers,
but a powerful east wind will come—the Lord’s wind will blow from the desert.
Then his well will dry up.
His spring of water will be dry.
The wind will take away anything of value.
16 Samaria must be punished
because she turned against her God.
The Israelites will be killed with swords.
Their children will be torn to pieces,
and their pregnant women will be ripped open.”
Hosea 13:15-16
New International Version
15 even though he thrives(A) among his brothers.
An east wind(B) from the Lord will come,
blowing in from the desert;
his spring will fail
and his well dry up.(C)
His storehouse will be plundered(D)
of all its treasures.
16 The people of Samaria(E) must bear their guilt,(F)
because they have rebelled(G) against their God.
They will fall by the sword;(H)
their little ones will be dashed(I) to the ground,
their pregnant women(J) ripped open.”[a]
